ooohhh i've been on the look out for something like those - mainly for when travelling along the motorway.

I'm assuming the usual "for show use only" disclaimers apply?

Be careful though, the police will still pull you if you are using them instead of headlights at night.

At night I would obviously have headlights. My thinking more around travelling up motorways during the day when i like to have my sidelights on (barn doors don't open) so that I can be seen.

They're not bright enough for driving in the pitch dark! But they are so much better than the original filament bulbs.
